Our sport is developing and evolving rapidly and it will continue to lead the way, pioneering the technologies, including sustainable fuels, that will be crucial to tackle climate change. \u201cWe are a key part of the solution to the problems we are facing worldwide, and the partnership is going to bring huge benefits to the sport and to the wider industry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bruno Michel, the CEO of Formula 3 &amp; Formula 2 added:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSustainability is a top priority in today\u2019s world, and we have been working on making our sport more sustainable for some time now. The goal to switch to synthetic fuel can only be achieved through the partnership with a company of the scale of Aramco, which is determined to produce advanced sustainable fuel in the near future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s easier to implement such a significant change in F2 and in F3, as they are single-make categories with single suppliers.
